this is a super lame workaround, but you can build a string and insert it into a div or span tag. i don't know if you are building dynamically or not. if you are, just insert a loop for the for the 'options' part ex:

The reason that i am building an array and then joining it is that it is much faster than building a string(MSDN). However, if NS does not support arrays or joins that well, you can skip the array/join, create a big string and insert it.

I can't really do that because the drop down menu has to be updated dynamically. I basically have one frame with the data in it (dynamically generated) and another frame with some links that fill in that data. The links call the appropriate function in the "data" frame.

sorry, i don't follow. but, if you can make it work with the option object, you can make it work with the string. the same way that you supply the values for your object, you need to get them into the string.

sorry if this doesn't help much but its hard for me to conceptualize what you're doing.
